This is a great pose to use all the way through your pregnancy, but it’s especially useful during the last six weeks. Stretch out with Part 1, then relax with Part 2.
Part 1
- Sitting in Child’s Pose, place your palms on top of the ball
- Roll it forward until you can rest your forehead on the ball
- Breathe into the stretch through your arms, shoulders and spine as your pelvis widens
- Stay for a few rounds of the breath and come up slowly
Part 2
- Relax forward over the ball in Child’s Pose – knees wide apart and toes together
- Use a pillow on the ball if you need to
- Relax your arms, breathe and enjoy
